Godman Rampal produced before Punjab and Haryana HC

Self-styled 'godman' Sant Rampal was produced before the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Friday.

Chandigarh: Self-styled 'godman' Sant Rampal was produced before the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Friday.

His bail plea had been cancelled earlier on November 20 in a 2006 murder case

A city court on Tuesday had placed him on six days transit remand, thereby, giving the police some more time to investigate.

The Punjab and Haryana High court, which had earlier last week sent Rampal to judicial custody, had asked the Haryana DGP to submit an affidavit detailing the operation conducted by the police to execute his arrest.

The high court had further asked Haryana's Chief Secretary to submit a report regarding the assets owned by Rampal.

The self-styled ' godman ', who was arrested from his Satlok Ashram after a two-week long standoff in Hisar's Barwala town, had rubbished all the charges leveled against him.

Rampal had also rejected the charges that he had asked thousands of his followers to be kept "hostage" for past several days inside his ashram at Barwala to evade police action in a contempt of court case.
